On this day, 15 years ago, the sun rose to a time that would change my life forever. I still remember the first time I saw him. His little white and chubby body and two asymmetrical patches across his perfect face – his 9 week old bum sat on my lap to which my heart simultaneously swelled and I promised him I would take care of him; that there was nothing I wouldn’t do for him. And so, over the past 15 years that is how we have lived together. I remember telling my partner ‘just so you know, I’ll never love you like I love Chester’. To which he replied ‘that’s ok, I’d feel the same’. (That’s when I knew he was the one by the way.) To be able to spend more time with him, I changed careers – went back to study dog behaviour and training, psychology and behaviour medicine so I could have a sense of understanding him as best I could. But he has always been my true teacher. I have watched him grow from a young puppy at dog obedience school – running and wrestling for hours with his puppy friends, to mastering a skateboard and paddling up to his neck in all bodies of water. His play bows, barks and tail wags have always made my day and his zest for life has always inspired. Now at 15, he still looks the same to me. Perfect. Absolutely divine and beautiful in every way. What a privilege it is to be his guardian on this earth. Happy birthday my magnificent darling boy. The best boy. Pruney Rooney, Balloons, Love. Love of my life. I will continue to worship you each moment of each day for as long as we may live. Promise kept.

When they said ‘you’ll never love your dogs the way you love your child!’…
Many have asked me how I manage to keep Chester as number 1, whilst also giving my all to a newborn… I thought long and hard about that today, because I’ll admit it, it’s tough! I am sleep deprived, I feel like a completely different person sometimes, and it’s hard work having to share your body, your heart, your mind and your attention. Each day I feel a combination of triumph, failure and anxiety wondering if I’m getting it right. But then, there’s love – an overwhelming feeling of commitment, adoration, care and respect that I feel for Chester, Rose, and all my family. Deep love somehow finds room to give more than you ever thought you had to give. I treat Chester and Rose like they’re twins (if you’re a parent to twins/multiple, you are a hero to me!) Somehow everyone gets the attention and care they deserve and need and I believe that is reason why Rose has integrated so seamlessly into this furry family. She has entered a family of deep love. So if you’re ever worried that your fur child may not get the attention and love they need when you have a baby, remember that there is an innate reserve within you of deep and true love that is ready to nurture everyone in your care. It takes more than everything you think you have, but when you find it, nobody gets left behind.
“Oooooo Harry, you’re on my nursing pillow!”
Pound dogs = best dogs! This guy was one of the beauties from our series New Leash On Life in @abciview with @joelcreasey. Remember this gorgeous guy Joel? 🙂 xx Every dog deserves unconditional love and it was our mission to deliver that.
Nipple, latch and Lyka. So many words introduced into my everyday language! @lykapetfood #babies #nosleep #love
One of life’s greatest privileges is to provide a pillow for his head to rest on.

Did you know these 5 things about your dog? Body language can tell you so much about how your dog is feeling emotionally and physically! Sometimes simple behaviours are signs of pain, discomfort or disease. It’s always worth talking to your vet/behaviourist about any concerns you may have. Pet insurance helps you get to the bottom of the cause!! @knose.pet.care #petinsurance #lifesaver
Do you ever feel sluggish after a carb-heavy meal? Well, your dog likely does too 🥖😴 This is why qualified dog behaviourist and trainer @lauravofficial recommends ditching high carb, processed diets like kibble and feeding real food instead.
Treats and enrichment don’t have to have unhealthy snacks. You can choose delicious real food AND the toy is free. Great way to recycle cardboard too. 🤪
True or false!? Let’s play the game and see if you @knose.pet.care the answer!
